JTS山本邦山記念賞(第四回)を受賞しました。

山本邦山賞は、尺八演奏家、人間国宝の山本邦山先生にちなんで、「専門分野を研究することで、異分野とのコラボレーションを実現し、日本芸術活動のすばらしさを世界に積極的に発信した方を顕彰すること」を目的に、2015年11月に創設されたものです。

竹好きの僕としては「山本邦山 ~ 人と竹」という、著作を残していられる山本先生とは、何か縁を感じていたので、とても嬉しく、光栄に感じています。現代の空気を思い切り吸い込み、さらに世界に発信し続けたいと決意しています。

They give rhythm to the facades and underline the different superimposed layers. The facades come alive according to the viewpoints and the orientation of the sun. A gradation of transparency occurs from the bottom (more open) to the top (more opaque). The base, consisting of large full-height glazed elements, provides a view, encourages interaction and gives life to the district. On the upper floors, the use of sun-screens is intensified to offer optimal protection on the most exposed areas. Wood is used in the structure and in the protected (interior) parts of the double-skinned facade. EDA is also a landscape building with a dense network of tree-lined terraces and hanging gardens. This new construction project creates a building complex with 7 superstructure levels and 5 infrastructure levels. The building is organised as follows: A service base open to the public between the … Read More
